If you’ve always dreamed of becoming a school bus driver in Pennsylvania, it’s time to make it a reality. Like everything in life, driving is a skill you learn once and improve with practice. Although you might already have a personal driver’s license and countless hours behind the wheel of your car, commercial driving is a bit different. Becoming a certified school bus driver in Pennsylvania involves passing several exams, including a general knowledge test on commercial driving, a Passenger Vehicles knowledge test, a School Bus knowledge test and a skills test in an actual school bus if you haven’t already done so for your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). If you succeed, you’ll receive a Passenger Vehicles (S) endorsement and a School Bus (S) endorsement on your CDL.
Although it is a relaxing experience, driving in Pennsylvania could be a real challenge when the weather worsens. As a school bus driver, the safety of your young passengers is in your hands. That’s why these endorsements are not given lightly. You must master this kind of commercial driving to be entrusted with such a serious responsibility. Aspiring school bus drivers might already be familiar with the official Pennsylvania CDL Handbook 2025, but there are better alternatives. We have created a learning environment where students can train on this free Pennsylvania CDL School Bus practice test.
Original questions by our teamBased on 2025 PA CDL Handbook
Questions are created and maintained by the Driving-Tests.org content team following our multi-layer editorial process and updated whenever the PennsylvaniaDOT changes its handbook or website information. Official sources we check:
Featuring a helpful assistant, our practice tests closely reflect the official written exam. At your request, our automated assistant can provide a hint, a detailed explanation of the correct answer, and even a real-life example of the situation presented in the question. Moreover, unlike the official exam, our practice tests are not timed. You won’t see a countdown signaling time running out, so there’s no need to rush.
Some of our students even use these practice tests as an educational tool, taking notes and learning the various aspects of the School Bus endorsement. Once you are confident in your ability to pass the tests, you can use them to evaluate your knowledge. Note down your scores, and once you consistently obtain satisfactory results, you can be sure that you are ready to take the actual exam.
We know what it takes to pass. And we’ve got the proof.
